RIOTOUs ROT.
A Russian HowIer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S'-Cooper Union
was filled TO overlooking to night with
people who sympathized with the Chicago
anarchists who were hanged. The meet
ing had been called by the Trades FEEDER
alton, and in behalf of the widows and
orphans of the anarchists recently execut-
ed in Chicago, There were red ribbons
and feathers on the women, red necktles
aud hat bands on the men. The portraits
of the hanged anarchists were draped in
black and displayed. Police were present
in force, but the meeting was not inter-
rupted.
Sergins Il. Shevitch was the orator,
In substance he said: 1t is no time to
cheer. 1t is no time to weep. 1t is time
10 think; time to get ready for action.
The judicial murder in Chicago would
have been impossible aver III Russia.
The men were not hanged for crime.
They were hanged for what the had
thought, written and spoken.
A quarter OF a century ago John Brown,
a native American, was lynched, and four
years later half the nation was marching
on with his soul. Do you want to know
the names of the foreigners in this coun-
try. They are Jay Gould, the Wander
bits, the Russell Sages. Foreigners are
not the anarchists. The foreign element
who having nothing in kind with the
people are the capitalists. Their cry was
law and order for their protection-fnr the
protection of their stolen property. You
have heard it said that anarchists do not
belong to this country. They do not
want to belong to this country. They
don't need to come under its flag. They
have a flag of their own, their red flag.
What is this red flag for which more
noble hearts have died than for any other?
What does this red flag mean2 Ii means
the blood of humanity. 1t means to put
a stop to the shedding of blood. There
is blood on that flag. The blood OF thou.
sands and millions slaughtered for that
flag. That bosh about law and order is
only dust that is thrown in the eyes of the
people. | hope it is the habit to send
spies to take down the words of speakers
on these occasions and what they do not
utter. Let us stand together; let us
be more fierce in our language than ever
before. Let the blood of anarchists cry
out throughout the world. It's our flag,
we will raise it; We will carry it through
your streets.
Resolutions were passed in which those
present pledged themselves to support the
widows and orphans of the hanged ChIca-
go anarchists.

Most on Trial.

New YORK, Nov. 2S.-The trial Of
Johann Most, che anarchist, was resumed
to-day. The court room was thronged
and many womeu we're present, but there
was a noticeable diminutlon in the glare
of the red ribbons and flowers displayed.
Frederick Harting, the first witness called,
testified that he went into the saloon in
the rear of which Most was making a
speech, and attracted by curiosity went
into the meeting held there. He said
Most did not use the violent language
charged against him. He had never seen
Most before and was not an anarchist, but
might yet become one.
Hermann Shrelitz, a reporter formerly
on the Leader, and now on the KoM'
ZeitWng, testified, that he heard Most's
speech, and that he began with Fellow
citizens, y not Brother anarchists, as
was alleged. He said Most threatened
no immediate revenge, but accused Grin
nell and Gary as the murderers of the
Chicago anarchists. He also accused
Powderly and George of their murder for
turning the Knights of Labor from the
anarchists. Witness said Most spoke in
a sorrowful tone Every word came from
his heart and went to the heart. Witness
said he was a socialist, and he did not
believe God bothered = out such %trifing
things as perjury.
Gustav Stephan and Seigfeld Rosen
sweig testified that they heard Most I
speech and that it did not contain the in
cendiary language alleged. The latter
said he did not know exactly what anar-
chy is, although he had been studying the
subject for eight years.
